The realme 6 is a mid-range Android smartphone developed and manufactured by realme. It was announced on March 5, 2020, alongside the realme 6 Pro.
The initial launch takes place in Europe on April 6, 2020, following its pre-order on March 31, 2020.[8]
Model variations
[edit]On May 26 of the same year, the realme 6s was unveiled. It is identical to the realme 6 except for its 48 MP main camera module, compared to the 64 MP module found on the realme 6.[9][10] On June 23, the realme Narzo was announced as a rebranded realme 6s for the Indonesian market.[11] On July 24, the realme 6i (not to be confused with the global realme 6i) was launched in India, which is also a rebranded version of the realme 6s.[12]
Technical specifications
[edit]Design
[edit]The front display is constructed from Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The rear body panel is made of glossy plastic.
The bottom edge houses the USB-C port, a loudspeaker, microphones, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The left side features the volume rocker keys along with a triple-slot tray accommodating two SIM cards and a microSD expansion card up to 512 GB. The right side contains the power button, which integrates a side-mounted capacitive fingerprint sensor.
The realme 6 was made available in Comet Blue and Comet White color variants. The realme 6s and Indian realme 6i were available in Eclipse Black and Lunar White. The realme Narzo was released in Just Black and Just White.
